This is the second load; You might be wondering, why is it in the garage? Well the clutch/slave issues I had been dealing with since I bought it finally caught up to me. About 20 feet after I loaded the truck, I lost all pressure in the clutch pedal and had to move it into my garage using the starter. I had only put about 300 miles on the truck since I bought it in September. So now it's time to put in a new clutch and slave. My initial plan was to hold out on this until I had collected all the parts for a four wheel drive conversion but that will have to wait because I could really use the truck right now. So it's staying 2wd, for now. I had to remove the center console to remove the shifter. Well that was only held in with one screw and it was in rough shape. So once that was out I decided to remove most of the interior. Especially the ZJ seats that the PO swapped in that sat crooked. Carpet is in pretty good shape except for a wear hole under the gas pedal. Carpet up; Once that was done I got the transmission pulled and that's where we are right now.

Once I got it home, I washed the outside, then it sat for a little while. I took the truck for a few drives, mostly trips to the dump or just around town. Then I used the truck haul off the debris from a tree on my property I cut down. This is the first load;

So around this time last year, I had to sell my 88 Chief, Red Dragons, to pay my wife's business taxes. I regretted selling it the moment it left my driveway. So I spent the next few months looking at MJs on Craigslist for exactly what I wanted, a 91-92 because Renix Jeeps are ghey. I found a 92 in Albany on Craigslist for $1200 so I called him, and told him I would be there tomorrow with cash. BPB, Eric and myself drove to Albany and I handed her cash before even starting it or test driving it. She said he husband was daily driving it, but it had clutch issues "when it got warm". Whatever that means. What I had just purchased was a 92 4.0 AX-15. What I didn't get was four wheel drive or air conditioning, but I figured I could change that later on. The truck came with the bed full of parts that were all basically garbage, except for a 4wd AX-15. How I picked it up; I had a 100 mile drive home to get acquainted with my new truck. However, my drive home was interrupted by a call from my Mom informing me that my Grandpa George passed out and was taken to the hospital. He died about a month later. Don't smoke cigarettes.

I'd bet its a disco-30.

My truck ended up on a shirt, without my permission. Hell, I even had to buy one to get one. Chillax, no one is out to get you.

Comanche Of The Month - January 2013
Darren replied to Automan2164's topic in Comanche of the Month (MJOTM)
Yay Ben! Maybe one day I'll have a cool Jeep like you. -
Wow! This guy is crazy, more so than Eagle even.

I would just ignore their criticism Ryan. They're a bunch of grumpy old men with POS unfinished MJ projects, hornbrod excluded. They get off correcting people and showing how much more they know than everyone else makes them feel better about themselves. Since they have no job, they have the time to be hyper-critical on the Internet. These same web wheelers always talk about flex too, because anyone with any real wheeling experience knows "crazy-mad flex" isn't important, at all. I think the upgrades you did to the truck make a lot of sense for a mostly trail only truck, and probably really increased ride quality and durability of the front end. I'm always glad to see a Jeep on the show, and was especially excited to see an MJ. Lastly, I enjoy the show and watch it every week. Thank you for the entertainment, and for taking the time to post here.

SEM is the only way to go. It's more of a dye than paint, unlike krylon. Expensive stuff, but well worth it.

I love PowerBlock, but Courtney Hansen can DIAF.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I drove about 10 miles no rear shaft with a full case Detroit up front. You'll be fine. -
Mj Cab And Chassis Motorhome $5500
Darren replied to expeditionnw's topic in Craigslist/eBay... i.e. Not Your Stuff
Ben paid the full $5500. Dude wouldn't budge. It's in really good shape. He has a build thread up with pics of the uniframe splice job. -
Cut your losses on what you have and go buy one without rust. There are tons of $1000 Comanches across the country without any rust. Fixing a rusty Unibody isn't worth it.

Well it's in the CC family. -
I will probably have to do that, I was hoping to get off a little cheaper though. If it goes to an upholstery shop, I know I'll end up going all out and it will cost me big bucks.

Stupid idea, and I really doubt you'll ever make it happen. This is an ignorant hillbilly idea that has no application in the real world.

My bench is in very rough shape. I can probably fix what I have except for the cover. If I can find one local ill just buy the whole seat. If I can't I was hoping someone on here could take the cover off their bench and ship it to me. I will pay for it and cover shipping of course. Needs to be grey. Here's a picture of what I currently have; Please help I'm desperate.

Cool story bro! Tell it again.
